Les on FWA Live panel for Grenfell

THE Football Writers’ Association are hosting a charity evening to raise money for the victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy and have pulled together some of the biggest names in the football and media world to preview the upcoming season, including our very own Les Ferdinand.

The BBC’s Jacqui Oatley will host the special panel event, with QPR’s Director of Football Ferdinand joining fellow panellists Gary Lineker, the FA’s Paul Elliot, and Times chief football writer, Henry Winter, for the event on August 9th.

Tickets for the event - which will be held at the Ham Yard Hotel, Soho, between 7.00-10.00pm - are priced £27.14, with all money raised donated to the London Fire Relief Fund which is organised by the British Red Cross.

Tickets include a free bar and canapés.

The final total raised will be matched by the FWA’s title sponsors, William Hill.
